Invalid connection, please update your connection to load complete details

[adrianhoang997]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with connection errors when it comes to connection flow.

Under connection, it says I'm connected.

However, when I'm trying to create a flow, I'm getting the " Invalid connection, please update your connection to load complete details" error.

How can I resolve this?

Hi,

I have the same problem when using the new designer.
Since a couple of days, I've had the option to choose between the "old" designer & the new one.

In the old designer I had no problems regarding the connections.
Only when using the new designer, all connections are invalid.

Hi, I too have the same issue. The existing flows in the new designer works correctly (even though it shows as invalid connection when I click on the flow). I am trying to simply automate the email attachment into File system. Is there any update on the resolution?

Hi @DivyaLikewize ,

I think that you can select "change connection" --> "Add new" --> "Sign in".
Maybe that will resolve it.

For me it didn't work, I got below error message.
But I don't know if that is due to IT policy or if it's a general problem.

But, as mentioned in several discussions before, the reason for the connection issues is attributed to Microsoft's recent overnight updates.

same issue, any solution? thanks

Hi @Tonymeng01 

Issue should normally be fixed already by Microsoft.

I've found a workaround. If you have another flow with the same trigger and working connection, save it as a copy and use the copy. The connection will work and you can edit it as you want.

Same problem for. I'm unable to connect my new flow to a Sharepoint when using the new design. Looking forward to a solution.

I've been able to use make.powerapps.com to edit the flows in the old interface and re-enable the connection refs.  

This worked, while the new editor at flow site did not (as mentioned above).

That worked, @Dark4499 ! Thank you!

I've had this issue quite often with the Teams connectors.

Assuming this is a connector type that is related to a product that you can log into  (Outlook, SharePoint, Teams), I found the solution  was to log into the related product in the same web browser. It instantly went away for all the same product related connectors in my flows. 

It seems that the browser session can become disassociated with the logged in identity and for me, this fixes it.

I am also facing this issue.

Happened to me and it looked like the power automate service needed to be restarted. once I did everything came back up online for the desktop flows

Turn this off and your flow should work just fine for now. That's how I am working.

I managed to solve this - down the left had side there is an option for connections (you can pin it from the ...more option, if not displaying)
From there you can view and fix any connections not working.  I had 7 connections and most were not working and had to click on each one to sign in.  Not sure why each is considered individual - probably good segregation  - but hey - i'm back up and working now.

It works!! Thank you so much!!!

THANK YOU.

End of February 2024, still the same stupid bug. Really... I've been stuck all day.

This solved my Problem! Switched to old designer and connections are working again!

[GeoffFromTAI]

Good solution roktimaditya. Simple but not intuitive. Should I leave the New Designer flag off or just flip it when I need to create or refresh the connection?
